Hello Ya'all:

I was wondering if anyone had a library or knew of a way to do direct disk I/O in DarkBasic or DarkBasic Pro?

Hello,

What do you mean by Direct Disk I/O? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to access master boot records or manipulate sectors or tracks directly? Are you trying to partition or access the partition table?

Depending on what your goal is, the functionality might be available in the DB command set or in windows dlls that are already installed on your machine. You can even execute DOS commands as shell.

Enjoy your day.
